THE long-awaited Capital Market Masterplan 2026 to 2030 (CMP) was finally released with key details as to how the regulators see the Malaysian capital market developing over the next five years.

Governance took centre stage in the new CMP as Malaysia positions itself as a regional leader in responsible investment, focusing on the environment, social, and governance framework, as well as the country’s leading role in promoting syariah-compliant and socially responsible investments.
